Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

The Direct Research Journal of Education and Vocational Studies (DRJEVS) is a member of  CrossRef and uses iThenticate. All manuscripts are screened for plagiarism using iThenticate software to ensure originality and integrity before review.

DRJEVS follows a double-blind peer review policy, meaning both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the process. Authors are expected to submit work that is honest, original, and free from fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, or inappropriate data manipulation.

Each submission is evaluated by at least two qualified reviewers—either members of the Editorial Board or experts of similar standing in the field. Reviewers assess manuscripts based on their contribution, originality, relevance, and clarity of presentation.

To keep the process efficient, editors may conduct an initial triage and make a decision without external review. In most cases, authors will receive feedback within 4–6 weeks.

The Editors’ decision is final, and manuscripts deemed unsuitable for publication will not be reconsidered. All communication—including review results, editorial decisions, and requests for revisions—will be sent by email.
